How to play Gorn on Steam with Oculus without SteamVR

[Caldor]

If you take the openvr_api.dll from here and replace the one in the Gorn games folder under GORN_Data\Plugins (remember to take a backup, just in case) then you will be able to launch Gorn on your Oculus Rift without having to open SteamVR.

It might also makes the whole throwing issue Rift users have better, but still not certain about that part. Pretty sure it runs a bit better though.

Strange.. a few asked for ways to play this game on Steam without SteamVR. Maybe people are not that interested in it anyway?

Why do you not want to launch through steamvr?

Well, if you have a Rift, have you tried launching Gorn and the sound still being played through the speakers? Pretty much never happens if you run it through the Oculus SDK directly.

Some claim it gives better performance... does not seem so but its not easy to benchmark VR games.

That legit looks like the first bit was cut off. With what .dll?

The link in the OP has the download. But now Gorn actually supports Oculus with an Oculus branch. You install it like you install a beta. Its called Oculus Native I think.
